Thank you for sharing this, I guess there is one downside to exercise 😁 Thank you for sharing your insightful experience. It is the same thing with me, I started to go on long hikes from a completely sedentary life style (office job, car commute and no accountability of food intake). Only difference still happen when I put…

Thank you all for sharing your experiences, thoughts and suggestions. Once I hiked in Snowdonia Mountain range in the UK in the summer, temperatures reached ~40 C degrees. I ran out of water 5 hours into the hike, and even though I knew the area very well and where the streams are, in the summer they dried out and had to…

I'm genuinely grateful and thankful for all your comments.

I researched the topics of calories, digestion, protein, fat..etc and managed to understand better. Now I'm nearly 50 pounds lighter and feel a lot fitter (it took me a whole year and still half way towards my…

Okay, I ran into a similar problem when I first started. So bear with me this reply might be long: The biggest factor in calculating how many calories you burn at rest is your weight. So typically if you want to maintain your weight, you should eat around 1700 calories according to "verywellhealth.com" So in each pound of…

Hi, How do you monitor your weight? Is it daily, weekly?

Hi, I turned 39 few weeks ago. At 37 I climbed 7 peaks in Snowdonia and I weighed 110 kg. I climbed 5 peaks in the same year in November in Brecon beacons. Come 2020 I had a surgery in Feb, then lockdown. On my 38th birthday I weighed 135kg and I already booked to take my friends up Snowdon for their 40th in August. That…

I'm 39 year old lives in the UK. New to the community. I managed to drop ~ 50 pounds in about a year, I still have 20-30 more to go. I enjoy weightlifting and going on hikes what about you?
